Default 69 Camaro Converable at Auction tomorrow

Ok guys and gals,
I've been lurking around here for a bit now and decided to post. I owned a 68 as my first car when I was 16 (many moons ago) and have always regretted selling it as I'm sure many others have done. I've dreamed of getting another since.

I think I have a fairly good base knowledge of what 1st gens are worth but then again you guys will probably school me there.

Here's my question. I'm going to a estate auction tomorrow here in town and they have a 69 Convertable Camaro with SS badges on it in the pictures. The listing just says "69 Camaro Convertable, 307, Auto, great condition"
No pictures of the interior or the engine so I'm going to assume they didn't highlight those areas for a reason. The body and top however look good from the pictures.
So, here's where I would ask your opinion.
Assuming it's not a SS, just a clone
Assuming it's not matching, even though I think that is a correct engine.
Assuming it's not got rust issues

What price would you put on it?
I was thinking it might pull around 18-20k
Anyone think that's a reasonable number for this car? I realize it's almost impossible to know but from just a couple pictures but I was hoping that someone might be able to give me some insight on how much would be too much for this car.
If I were to buy it, you guys would be seeing a whole lot more of me on here! Lol

Doesn't look bad from the outside, from what I can see, pics are a little dark. If the body isn't full of bondo, and it's not rusted out underneath either, and the interior isn't trashed, then your price range would be a good deal.
Take a magnet along and go over the body with a fine tooth comb.

In case anyone is interested, there was little rust, and the interior was there but very used and worn. I believe the engine (307) to be original.
The car went for $20,500.
But not to me.
I will solider on.
